Llaemaerahl
Llaemaerahl is known to the world as the home of the reclusive wood elves. For the surrounding civilizations, the name means: “Off-limits” or “trespassers beware” or “trespassers killed on sight”. And truth to their interpretations, outsiders are strictly forbidden or face pain of death.
To be a Llaemaer lelf is to carry on that torch of willful isolation. Outsiders are bad and to be a good Llaemaer, one must commit themselves to only the homeland, her woods, and her rivers. Those few kingdoms who have dared trespass or invade Llaemaerahl have come to know pain. Llaemaer children are quickly sorted into their natural proclivities, with their elders directing them into specific academic and martial studies, producing highly educated, intelligent, and lethal elven warriors.

Territories
Military
Every able bodied Llaemaer is considered a member of the defense force. Most citizens perform rotating duties throughout their routine week. Every citizen is categorized for their best martial skills, resulting in a highly diverse and elite military force.
Technological Level
The Llaemaer strive to live as primitively and close to nature as possible. That being said, they use magic to guide their environment to provide for living spaces, common areas, defense, etc.
Education
The effort for learning never ends for the Llaemaer. Many become scholars, philosophers, sages, teachers, and so on. The basic education system covers the first 80 years of a Llaemaer's lifespan. Much like the way they are sorted into their best martial skills, they are also directed into studies to which each individual gravitates toward, resulting in exceptionally educated citizens.
